Steps to make Turmeric Arroz Caldo - Filipino Chicken Congee with a Twist (with Brown Red Rice):
- Heat 1T oil in a sauce casserole pan. Add onions, then garlic. Sauté.
- Add the (salt generously) chicken pieces then cover. Let the juices come out, then turn on the other side. Drop in the bay leaf. Season with pepper to taste.
- Note on ginger: if you're not fond of chewing ginger pieces in your dish, slice them big enough so you can remove them after cooking.
- Add the sliced ginger. In a cup of water, stir in the Turmeric and pour in. Drop in the bullion or stock cubes. Mix around then cover for a few minutes.
- Then add more water and pour in the washed rice. Cover and let the rice cook.
- Check your rice, check your seasoning. Add salt, stock cube, more water as desired.
- While the rice continues cooking, prepare your garnish. In a pan, heat the remaining oil. Sauté the chopped pork belly (optional, tastes great when sprinkled on top with garlic) and garlic until golden. I added ginger, as I'm fond of fried ginger, and also adds to the flavor. When crisp, but not burnt, remove and set aside.
- I ran out of scallions so I fried some chopped onions instead. Set aside. I also chopped up a couple stems of celery, adds a nice subtle freshness to the dish.
- When the rice is cooked, if it's too thick add a bit more water as desired. Mix well.
- Serve in a bowl and sprinkle the fried garnishes and chopped celery or scallions on top. Add a squeeze of kalamansi or lemon/lime. Eat while hot. Enjoy. (In photo: I added chili powder on mine 😝)
- This is perfect for cold nights!
Information on How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
In general, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and should be avoided. Often, if the comfort food is a high sugar food or another junk food, this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely nutritious and it’s good for you to eat them. There are some foods that basically can boost your moods when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be really wonderful at dealing with depression. You need to be sure, however, that what you make includes the egg yolk. Whenever you would like to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolk in particular, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to elevate your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–run better. Eat an egg and jolly up!
Make a trail mixfrom different seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all great for helping to boost your mood. This is possible as these foods have a bunch of magnesium which raises serotonin production. Serotonin is called the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more of this chemical in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not just that but nuts, particularly, are a great protein source.
If you would like to beat depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly raise your mood.
Grains can be great for overcoming a terrible mood. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are excellent at helping you be happier. These foods can help you feel full for longer too, which can help your mood too. Feeling hungry can be awful! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are easy for your body to digest and process. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your blood glucose which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is fantastic for moods. You just knew green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea is found to be chock-full of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies prove that this particular amino acid can essentially induce brain waves. This helps improve your mental sharpness while relaxing the rest of your body. You probably already knew how easy it is to become healthy when you consume green tea. And now you know it can help you be happier as well!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try a couple of of these tips instead.
